suggestion please : playing a spell less ranger , how do I give my animal companion the ability to hit creatures that you need magic to hit ? Second , improved trip , I can't take it with the companion, how do I keep him useful to the group . Permanency is not something the GM wants to do .

And I'm not saying they aren't , but other than a few limited spells most are shared with druid . so again interesting maybe helpful.

The other thing is I guess the view on animal companions : see after playing a hunter it reminds me of the Wow hunter , send you pet/ companion in and shot arrows from the back. But truth be told that away to lose you companion . Constantly placing it in danger will cause it to lose affinity to you basically trust . So it may just abandon you after a while . But if you are side by side with them , it shows you are willing to put yourself in danger . making a stronger bond . You can't with a hunter your hd isn't that good .

Guess I'm kinda disappointed it should have and really could have been more .

I've seen a hunter in play and actually tried to play one but the feel for the class just didn't come. you are under powered and the companion isn't .

if nature's training doesn't mean anything then why print it.

yes early access to spells is ok , if you play with spells usually I play the spell less ranger . Still some of the spells are ok especially for beefing up the hunter

The only aspect I like is the animal focus , its new and different and doesn't take up spells

So what does that give or mean in Nature's training ?

track is a skill both druids and rangers get .

a lower bab table no really ranger input to the hunter and 6 skill points its all druid . Why would you call it a mix of druid ranger when its not . You'd be better off doing a druid ranger instead of hunter.

my mistake druids don't get track but it still doesn't justify this class ( hunter)

In the animal companion description it says hunter lvl are my effective druid lvl but in the following passage on nature's training : Nature Training (Ex): A hunter counts her total hunter level as both druid levels and ranger levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats, traits, and options that modify or improve an animal companion.

so does that mean for animal focus , teamwork feats , lvl because in a way it contradicts animal companion ?.?

After playing the hunter which is supposed to be druid ranger I've noticed that there really isn't anything from the ranger, skills from both ranger and druid but you'f figure they'd give a favorite enemy or two or favored terrain or two but nothing . Or even combat style . It appears to me to be a modified druid class and that's it

in the hunter it states that ranger druid levels contribute to my hunter levels . does that mean for companion levels only or for all levels ?

if I was Hunter 1 and Ranger 3 : do I get the hunters spells ? Is my companion 4 hd ? just trying to get it right so asking questions
